"If we're too ignorant to know what to spend our money on, can't well blame others for selling us stuff." And in fact this is a skill that is extremely important to have as an entrepreneur, that is, a business person. Actually I just took a look at the website showing the past event. http://www.youngstartup.com/newyork2013/overview.php http://www.youngstartup.com/newyork2013/overview.php It looks and quacks to me like a legit duck (from a quick look). On the main website there are past events there are videos of people who look like investors and appear to be legit. Unless it's staged I personally don't see what they are doing as anywhere near a scam. (Once again from a quick check.) The blog post otoh gave me a totally different perspective. But the retort from the YSV founder completely deflated that bias and made some good points. This idea from people that expect all sorts of help for free and think that people who charge are somehow scams need to reexamine closely how business operates.
